Tim: Robin, you may or may not remember, first appeared on these pages about five years ago as a pre-pubescent teen singing about skateboarding.
Tom: Weirdly, I do actually remember that. I don’t remember the song, but I do remember complaining about how young he was.
Tim: Well, he’s grown up a bit since then, and is rapidly approaching album number four; still all about the extra-curricular activities, though.
Tom: Sounds like a Balearic ballad, but sung in Finnish. That takes a verse or two to get used to.
Tim: Yes, and what with it being Finnish, Google isn’t much help with the lyrics (one line apparently means “Jo comes further thaw melts”), but it’s basically all about dancing, with hips moving all over the place, the sun shining down, and something about flowers.
Tom: That’s better than the Macarena, at least.
Tim: To be honest, the song gets at least two of those three things across nicely, and the third’s probably not too important anyway.
Tom: It’s forgettable, and I don’t think it’s about to be the sound of the summer, but I’ve been wrong before.
Tim: I don’t think you’re wrong here, to be honest, but it’s a nice track, and most importantly it’s one of the few summer tracks around that isn’t stuck in a tropical genre, which somehow is still going on. Oh, joy…
